Axios Co-founder Roy Schwartz: why average is worthless now
Notas do episódio
Roy Schwartz co-founded Axios, the news company known for smart brevity, and helped grow it to a $525 million sale to Cox Enterprises. He's now co-founder and CEO of Axios HQ, an AI-powered internal communications platform spun out of Axios. He co-wrote Smart Brevity, and his new book is Simplify. Before Axios, he was chief revenue officer of Politico.
In this episode of Summation, Roy and Auren discuss:
- Meeting bankruptcy: wiping every recurring meeting off the calendar twice a year
- AI as a complexity machine and the slop it's adding to every email and deck
- The end of well-rounded, and why AI eats anyone who is average
- Building Axios for influencers instead of casual readers, plus 200 events a year
